It is finally getting to be spring in Minnesota. Really, don’t let those flurries discourage your spring dreaming! As part of the rite of spring in the Twin Cities, we see those cute neon green Nice Ride bikes all over the cities. This season the program is adding 24 new stations bringing the total to 170 across the metro area.
So Happy Spring and enjoy biking through the spring and summer.
Below is a map of the current locations of all the stations in the Twin Cities!
For the last two years, professional soccer has been on the verge of extinction in Minnesota. However, last November Minnesota executive Bill McGuire stepped up and bought the struggling team.

The season kicks off this Saturday, so if you have kids in soccer or love the sport be sure to check out their website for tickets and dates!

Two sure fire ways to check the pressure?

2. Run the water in the bathroom sink
These two simple acts will let you know that you won’t look like a character in Seinfeld!
As a native of the Twin Cities, you always know that Black Friday begins the winter fun season in Downtown Minneapolis! Yes, it is Holidazzle parade time again.
If you are new to the area, the Holidazzle parade is worth making the trip to check out. It helps to be prepared though!

This weekend, the Soap Factory is hosting the Craft’za! Is it wrong to look forward to something this much?
